However warranted, it is a dangerous precedent for the Left to follow, though it does in an rather insidious means via feminization, etc. and persecution of those who will not salute the Wokeism flag, as it has majority rule of media, judiciary, education, commerce, health care, and the military.,
I’ve moved well past the “But what if the left uses it against us?” phase.
They’ve jailed thousands of patriots over J6. They tried to jail Trump, as well as his lawyers for defending him. And when that failed, they’ve tried multiple times to kill him.
The left is already using every lever of power at their disposal to impose their will. It’s time we learn to wield power to decidedly crush them so they can’t wield power anymore.
Please explain how does this not violate “The Posse Comitatus Act”? Yes I know the act deals with federal military forces. But even if these proposed units are not so designated as such it sure seems that is just what they will be in fact.
It is a bad idea though well intended.
I am pretty damn certain that kind of power is just what the ratifiers of the Constitution were determined to prevent.
When Obama vowed to create something like this...
The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if they are preparing for a financial collapse causing social unrest. But I don’t like the idea of federalizing police. I prefer that they just give block grants to crime ridden cities to hire more cops.
I voted for obliteration and draining.
John Podesta outlined plans for civil war if Biden lost in 2020. The Obamas even produced a movie about a civil war that ends with the assassination of the President.
Top Democrats contemplate civil war if Biden loses
All indications are they intend to implement the same plan now that Trump won 2024.
I am sure Trump is acutely aware of this and is making preparations.
EPU. Tell me, do you sit at home trying to find reports that are incredibly sleep-producing?
What is it like, going through life as a malevolent, weirdo stalker?
My idea is the DC work was clearly legal as under federal jurisdiction. Limited to DC, though.
To be followed by somewhat empty threats to the Third World style cities like Chicago. With troops trained and used to how to encounter the thugs in a city.
Then, using the exception to deploy the already organized troops, send the troops out to battle the leftists in the streets in the cities. Which has definitely been done by Eisenhower and Lyndon B. Johnson and later Presidents.
What is coming: The “my people in this great city of Chicago will be rising up”-—Mayor Johnson. And “If you send the National Guard to incite our people to violence”.
Will both lead to “Fourth day of rioting, fires and shooting in the city.”
Is the article surmising “the beyond?” Or is President Trump seriously that step? D.C. is one thing. Going into other cities is a bridge too far. They need help, but he has no authority UNLESS the gangs are considered enemy combatants... could yhar be the case?
Agree. It’s not a good idea. Let the cities rot. Sorry.

The Insurrection Act provides several scenarios where the president can deploy federal troops domestically:
Request by a State Official:
The president can deploy troops at the request of a state's governor or legislature to suppress an insurrection within that state.
Insurrection Against Federal Authority:
The president can deploy troops to suppress a rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States.
Enforcing Federal Law or Protecting Rights:
The president can deploy troops when federal laws are obstructed by unlawful combinations or conspiracies, preventing them from being enforced by ordinary means, or to protect civil rights when a state is unable or unwilling to do so.

The policing of Chicago and New York City is a matter of city and state concern, not Trump’s.
Trump means well, but he needs to leave certain jobs to others.
The solution for Chicago, NYC and other places is to vote for Republican local and state candidates.
“It’s not a good idea. Let the cities rot. Sorry.”
I agree 100%.
